So far, the only thing "cryptocurrency" has revealed is that finance regulations are mostly useful and good.

Tech debt is one of the few metaphors I love because it’s so accurate. What a lot of engineers struggle with is that manageable levels of debt is fine for a business and in fact superior to being cash constrained. Some forms of debt are a h

How does a party of such people organize? What policy positions could they hold on abortion, lgbtq rights, and gun rights that will lead to wide appeal?

I haven't launched a startup on .NET recently, but I've been looking into modern .NET and I'm pretty impressed. I'll probably use it for my next side-project. I think Blazor in particular has a lot of potential. I'v

Couldn't congress "get off its rear and do its job" by forbidding the FDA from regulating housing? Requiring every regulatory action to require an affirmative from congress is absurd. Besides that, congress controls the budge

This term alone the "conservative majority opinions" have been downright contradictory on "relevant legal issues". Women now have a right to defend their life with a gun but cannot defend their life with healthcare. It&#

Crime data is messy and can take decades of debate without ever coming to any conclusions. Beyond the abortion argument, I’ve heard convincing claims that the cause of a decline in crime was due to phasing out leaded gasoline. For 2020, I b

Not an open source project, but I’ve seen a Code of Conduct save a local user group when drama erupted between a founding organizer and a regular member. Having a written agreement and guidelines to mediate conflicts is vital once a communi

The stuff he’s criticized for doesn’t “challenge” any narrative. It’s all self inflicted like lying about FSD or calling someone a “pedo”. And what do you consider “the establishment” to be exactly?

I don't know of any social media site that has been able to "consistently" enforce moderation at scale. When you have millions of humans they will find every edge case and workaround to any specific legalese you come up with.

I feel like you’re using the word “fair” in an econ 101 sense, not in the way most people use it. “The market reached equilibrium” with child labor and indentured servitude. Most people consider child labor unfair, so law/culture/

It’s unrealistic to expect this level of optimization in a generalist whiteboard session. For a specialist, maybe. I’m not specialized in this area. For an array of 5-10 items the performance hit of foreach is worth it for readability. Mayb

It is nice to hear a defense of this style since there’s often so much complaining about it, and the tips to mitigate the downsides are useful. Personally I don’t mind a whiteboard session or two during a loop but what’s wild to me is how,

> Fair, by definition, is when the market reaches equilibrium. This is absurd. "The market" is amoral: it's just a collection of human behaviors that are shaped by laws, culture, and customs. All of those can change, the l

I often see people on blind asking for and offering referrals to people who are basically strangers. It makes sense to turn that into a product, so kudos. That being said, it's always made me feel weird in a way I struggle to articulat

I've heard it said as "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us". It's possible that the events where the two theories diverge will always be out of reach for us to observe.

There are companies that offer loans like this but the rates aren’t great. Also mortgage lenders don’t like it if your down payment is debt. I believe wealthy people (so some founders) do this on better terms because they have a better nego

Who has been banned from Twitter for a joke that offended "only the wokest"? Dave Chapelle still has a twitter account. As does Louis CK.
